Make-up artist Rhian Glover reveals how you can overcome acne to have perfect skin on your big day

Q - I have bad acne but still want to look amazing on my big day. How can I get an even coverage?

"Skin preparation is key when it comes to getting an even coverage.

"Get regular facials, and cleanse/moisturise thoroughly to prepare your skin.

"On the day, use a good moisturiser before applying any make-up. A smooth base is essential and will help prevent your foundation from clinging to dry areas.

"A good moisturiser is Embryolisse Laboratories Lait-Créme Concreté. It doubles up as a primer to help your foundation stay in place.

"Use a colour corrector. Opt for a green shade to neutralise any redness, followed by a matching concealer.

"For good, long-lasting coverage put your foundation on in thin layers to prevent it from looking cakey."
